Graduate Programs, 

................................... 

The Graduate Program Committee of the Faculty of Business Administration 

has passed motions as follows: 

The Calendar entry for Fields of Gbncentration be modified as fol- 

lows: 

1.

"Accounting and Management Information Systems" be renamed 

"Accounting" and that "Management Science" be renamed 

"Management Science and Information Systems". 

2.

That Bus. 876 Decision Support Systems, be added to the 

list of field courses for Management Science. 

3.

That BUEC 823 Business and Economic Forecasting, be removed 

from the list of field courses for Management Science but 

that ? 

it be considered an acceptable course in fulfilling 

the Research Methods requirements. 

Rationale: 

The

faculty in Management Information Systems (MIS) are consider- 

ed

part of the Management Science area, 

?

courses are scheduled 

by

the area coordinator, 

?

and the focus of courses is closer 

to

Management Science than it is to Accounting. 

?

At present, 

Bus. 

876 is the only MIS course offered in the day program. 

It

will remain acceptable as a field course in both Accounting 

and

Management Science and Information Systems. 

The forecasting courses, BUEC 823, is considered somewhat out 

of the mainstream of the content area of Management Science, 

and more appropriately regarded as a course focusing on a par- 

ticular set of research methods.
